Here’s a made up conversation from the not-so-distant future involving myself and Millicent, a fictional friend I’ve conjured up strictly for this post, who’s main function in my life is to come over every Saturday and watches new episodes of SNL with me.
San Diego, CA. Sept. 13, 2008. 11:25 P.M.
Millicent: You about ready for the new season, Harv?
Harvey Bars: You bet. I’m just still all a twitter from today’s amazing North Dakota State-Wyoming football contest. That Kole Heckendorf is one remarkable athlete. Who’s hosting the show tonight?
M: Michael Phelps.
HB: Who?
M: Michael Phelps.
HB: The guy the Yanks traded Jay Buhner for?
M: Ummm noooo. The swimmer from the Olympics that won like eight gold medals a month ago.
HB: One, that doesn’t sound very funny AT ALL. Two, I’ve never heard of these so-called ‘Olympics’ but if what you say is true, why on Earth would I care about anything that happened a month ago. That’s like century in internet years. Lil Wayne has released 7,460 songs in the last month alone.
M: You know who he is! You even wrote about him on your blog!
HB: The fuck is a blog?
M: Oh forget it. God I just hope this show is funnier than this post was.
